On Monday, November 1st, students and parents joined the Bellport High School Guidance Department to listen to financial aid guest speaker, Amy Thompson. Ms. Thompson is the Director of Financial Aid at St. Joseph’s College and is one of Long Island’s greatest financial aid information resources. Ms. Thompson provided an introduction to the college financial aid process, including information regarding Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), scholarships, grants, as well as special state funded tuition assistance programs. Ms. Thompson provided a PowerPoint presentation and conducted an in-depth question and answer session with the community.

If you, or your child has questions about college admissions or the financial aid process, we encourage you to visit the Bellport High School Guidance Webpage at www.southcountry.org/schools/bhs_guidance or contact your child’s guidance counselor to make an appointment at 631-730-1608.
